St Albans

The city of St Albans is steeped in history, once considered as one of the largest Roman cities in Britain.

Traces of the Roman life can still be explored today with the Verulamium Museum containing ancient treasures and artifacts. Visit the nearby Roman Theatre built around 140AD and used to showcase religious processions, dancing, wrestling, armed combat and wild beast shows. Take a walk to the majestic St Albans Cathedral and take some time to admire this magnificent building.

If you're looking to explore the outdoors, get some fresh air with a scenic station to station walk. The Abbey Line Trail starts from St Albans Abbey railway station and covers a 6.5-mile route finishing at Watford Junction railway station. Catch the train from Watford Junction back to St Albans, or walk the return route, and continue your day out.
